Abstract :
AS AN initial step toward the eventual realization of a completely static system for converting solar radiation to electric power, the analysis and testing of a laboratory thermoelectric generator has been undertaken. A description of the over-all project is given in reference 1. An essential part of the over-all system is the combination of reflector and absorber used to collect and concentrate the solar radiation. This paper deals with the geometrical optimization of the reflector and absorber.
